I'm really irritated with Google and want to get rid of my Gmail but this will not be easy. I have lots of saved emails. Not sure what to do with it all. Any suggestions?

@idoubtit I simply run my own mail server, but I don't recommend that to most people except complete geek nerd deluxe types. But a number of friends state proton mail is good, and they have tools to assist in mail transfer.

I've had good luck using the spam filtering system through my hosted domain but it takes some tinkering and work training, esp at the start. Not much, though.

If spam sneaks through, just go and set the rule based on why but mainly checking and releasing caught emails and adjusting the rules as to why it was caught.

In no time, a good set of rules will be set.

It uses both SpamAssassin and JellyFish Spam Protection.

@paul @idoubtit Yes, I've run the main domain for personal mail for myself and several others since 1997. Things were harder back then, but even with DMARC, DKIM, SPF, SMTPS, using IMAPS, VPNs, and managing it things have gotten easier over the years as technology and options have improved.

@idoubtit what would you switch to?

@Kicko I use Thunderbird and Edison apps and have my own email through my domain name but it gets innundated with spam. I'm going to look into proton.
